BBC this Friday, November 30th We’ll Introduce & Discuss The OfficeXpats December Tuesday Workshops: “Looking Back, Looking Forward – Financially And Strategically.”
OfficeXpats Tuesdays@noon Workshops For December 4th, 11th, and 18th. “I love this season as a chance to evaluate and plan by looking back at my year of mixed results and looking forward to the next one, ripe with possibility. So while congress debates how to solve intractable financial challenges, we can take a constructive look at our own personal and financial realities. We only have three weeks to cover a lot of ground, but we have four incredible professionals to guide us through.” –Leslie Schneider

OfficeXpats Think Week is coming Dec 26-28
Last year we invented Think Week as a free coworking and community event between Christmas and New Year’s. We filled the week with brainstorming and strategic planning events. Ignite Bainbridge was born from one of those brainstorms.
This year Think Week is only three days: December 26-28. A few ideas for events (some are tentative; more details to come):
• A workshop on discovering your mission/vision
• A brainstorm to create our Kickstarter campaign
• A mosaic tile project
• A celebration of Ignite Bainbridge’s 1-year anniversary, with viewings of a few of the recorded presentations and interviews
So get started on your goals for Think Week, and pass the word. It’s a great chance to experience for free the productivity and community of coworking.
